Green Bike Lane Paint Jobs

Does anyone know if Chicago is ever planning on doing what is done in other cities with bike lanes - paint them green so they are more visible?

I really think this would help solve the problem of people parking in the spaces.

IMO

Im confident it will help now in the short turn and with enough oversight and pressure from our bike community we can keep them maintained.

Chicago's bike community kicks ass!

How many miles of protected/buffered/marked lanes do we have now vs 10 years ago?

Garth. I see the improvements that are happening all around us and get excited. Heck, even the chainlink can be seen as a huge boost to our wheeled community.

Call me Naive, but I see real progress taking place. One day the divide between lanes and 'paths' won't be so drastic and the Chicago momentum will spill over bringing its urbane power to the bucolic surrounds that hinder your vision. ;)

An entire lane of Wells has been designated as a bike lane within the loop. Green paint is coming...
